“The city of Bucharest is an undiscovered gem and has great potential for a hotel with a wealth of personality, architecture and unexpected inside stories. With the addition of Marmorosch Bucharest to the portfolio of the Apex Alliance, a stunning 5-star hotel in the heart of the Old Town, we are able to offer our guests a rich hotel portfolio,” said Silver.
Prior to joining the Marmorosh Bucharest hotel, Silver ran the Chateau Saint-Gerlach at the Relais Chateau Hotel in Falkenburg, the Netherlands. His international career has moved from Amsterdam (Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam) to London (London Hilton on Park Lane), Berlin (Waldorf Astoria Berlin), and now to Bucharest, where he works only in five-star luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants.
“We are confident that hotels act as ambassadors to any destination,” said Gerhard Erasmus, CEO of Apex Alliance Hotel Management,.
The Marmorosch Bucharest has a total of 217 rooms, all with high ceilings and large windows, the Blank Restaurant and Blank Bar & Lounge with a combined capacity of close to 200 guests. The hotel also includes four conference rooms, with a combined capacity of more than 230 guests.
The hotel is located in the former Marmorosch-Blank Bank Palace, in Bucharest’s Old Town, and is the first hotel in Romania to join Autograph Collection Hotels, Marriot International’s portfolio of upper-scale luxury hotels.
Originally built in 1915-1923, the former bank’s transformation into a hotel involved a EUR42 million investment and three years of continuous work to reawaken its architectural Art Deco and Art Nouveau heritage.
Apex Alliance Hotel Management operates five hotels in Bucharest, with a total capacity of more than 1.000 rooms. These include Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Old Town, Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Airport, Courtyard Bucharest Floreasca, Moxy Bucharest Old Town and The Marmorosch Bucharest. The group has invested around EUR120 million in Romania so far.
